We optimistically began our tasks of preparing the cake batter (which was tasty), the pans in which the cake would bake, and even had a little walk about the neighborhood in our aprons looking for milk (which we were kindly given by a neighbor).
We looked pretty cute.
The cakes turned out very well, albeit a tad slanted.
We figured out a few techniques for making the cakes the proper size for next time.
The difficulty came when it was time to glaze the petit fours.
Let's just say, I am going to be YouTubing "how to ice petit fours" videos.
And...we had so many (and were kind of tired of the whole ordeal) that we took a whole dish full to the Break the Fast Party (end of Lent) at church : )
And yes, I did some documentation of the process:

We had a fun (and tiring) afternoon making petit fours!
Till next time!
Thanks for sharing this experience with us!
ReplyDeleteI especially enjoyed the walk in aprons, meeting neighbors, back door screen breezes, cooling cakes outside and lovely company for such a task! And SWEETS! And conversation, like about beards and such. Glad we did it. :)
